Community Highlight: Tana & the Lamar High School FFA

Community Highlight: Tana & the Lamar High School FFA

June 29, 2021

At Pasadena Insurance Agency, Inc., we believe in the power to bring change to our community. And more often than not, that change starts with the youth. 

Meet Tana, a Commercial Lines Account/Office Manager here at PIAI and a strong advocate for youth enrichment. Tana's commitment to her son’s school activities helped to foster meaningful involvement into the Lamar High School FFA and agriculture program. 

Tana Fitch Lamar High School FFAThe FFA (Future Farmers of America) is the premier youth organization preparing members for leadership and careers in the science, business and technology of agriculture. And when Tana’s son expressed an interest in the FFA at his school, Tana saw an opportunity to be of service. 

“I enjoy working with the parents, students and FFA advisors to help raise funds for the members and club. My son has recently been elected as an officer and I am hands-on with the parent booster program.”

The Lamar FFA Chapter was founded in 1954 and is one of the oldest FFA chapters in the state of Texas. Its biggest fundraising effort is the Lamar FFA Livestock Show & Auction which began its first event in 1960 and has been running annually ever since.

“This is the event everyone works so hard throughout the year to make a success and I really enjoy the look on the member's faces when their project wins an award at the livestock show or is purchased at the auction. We recently raised more funds this year than in any other year that my son and I have been involved, which is great since the pandemic affected quite a lot of fundraising efforts in 2020.”

Along with participating in livestock shows, the Lamar FFA competes in Career & Leadership Development Events, Houston Rodeo Competitions, and even community service events.

The spirit of community really runs deep within the city of Houston and we’re proud to support the next generation as they grow into community leaders of their own!
